  • Title: Evidence for homeopathy in childbirth.
    Author: Smith V.
    Journal: Pract Midwife; 2013 Sep; 16(8):S10-2. PubMed ID: 24163922.
    Abstract:
    Homeopathy has been described as 'a fascinating field of study and a natural complement to the science and art of midwifery' (Brennan 1999: 298). Supported by the Royal College of Midwives' (RCM) campaign for normal birth and resulting from a growing desire by women to avoid conventional medicine, the use of homeopathic remedies in childbirth is gaining momentum. Midwives are ideally positioned to discuss homeopathy with women. To enable informed discussions, however, midwives must have evidence on homeopathy use. This article explores the evidence on homeopathy use in childbirth.
